Question
### Geometry Problem: Inscribed Quadrilateral

#### Problem Statement:
A quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is inscribed in a circle.

#### Question:
What is the measure of angle \(A\)?

#### Instructions:
Enter your answer in the box provided.

#### Input Box:
\[ \text{m}\angle A = \, \_\_\deg \]

#### Diagram Description:
- The inscribed quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is depicted within a circle.
- The vertices of the quadrilateral \(A, B, C,\) and \(D\) lie on the circumference of the circle.
- Angle \(\angle DAB\) is represented by the expression \((2x + 9)^\circ\).
- Angle \(\angle BCD\) is represented by the expression \((3x + 1)^\circ\).

Given these descriptions, students are to find the measure of angle \(A\), using appropriate geometric properties.

#### Note:
Inscribe quadrilateral properties stipulate that opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum up to \(180^\circ\). Use this property to set up an equation and solve for \(x\) in order to find the measure of angle \(A\).
